The Lower Saucon Township police department's drug education program for elementary school students received donations recently from two community groups.

The Woman's Club of Hellertown donated $500 and the Saucon Valley Task Force of Drug and Alcohol Abuse contributed $100 to the program, which was organized last fall in an effort to keep youngsters from using drugs and alcohol.

Police Chief Guy Lesser said the money will be used to buy drug education booklets that will be given to fifth and sixth grade students at the Lower Saucon Elementary School.

Lesser said he and officer Gerald Young will distribute the booklets this week when they visit the school to talk about the dangers of drug use before the students break for summer vacation.
